DIOGENES
Graham Speak writes
the following about DIOGENES OF SINOP (c. 400-325
BC): [1]
"Greek
philosopher. Diogenes was the principal representative of the
CYNIC sect. He
appears to have come to Athens after 362 BC where he
lived in extreme
poverty. There he came under the influence of
ANTISTHENES. He
advocated and practiced an ascetic life-style, based
upon self
sufficiency and rigorous training of the body to have as few
needs as possible."
Francis Henry
Sandbach, a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge writes
the following
enlarged account of Diogenes in Encyclopeadia Britannica
(EB): [2]
"Diogenes (4th
century B.C.) originator and archetype of the sect of
the CYNICS, was
born at Sinope on the Black sea, and died as an old
man about 320 B.C.,
probably at Corinth, where his monument was
surmounted by a
marble dog, the emblem of the sect. A picturesque
figure, he became
the centre of a legend, some of which seems
attributableto the
invention of Menippus. Many of the best-known
stories about him
are apocryphal: for instance, how the only boon
that he would beg
of Alexander the Great was that he should stand out
of his light; and
that, sold into slavery, he declared his trade to
be that of
governing men and was appointed tutor to his master's sons.
It is virtually
certain that he was exiled with his father from
Sinope; he had
probably already adopted his life of asceticism when
he reached Athens (
at an unknown date); and not later than 330 B. C.
Aristotle refers to
him as a familiar figure, nicknamed "the DOG". He
made his mission to
"deface the currency," perhaps meaning "to put
false coin out of
circulation"; i.e., to expose the falsity of most
conventional
standards and beliefs. In so far as he had a positive
ideal, it was one
of self-sufficiency unshaken by fear, pain or
desire, to be won
by an unremitting discipline of body and mind.
Tradition,
untrustworty in detail, cannot be wrong in portraying him
as the possessor
both of a biting wit and a showmanship, exemplified
by the story of of
his going out in broad daylight with a lantern "in
search for an
honest man." He relied on example as well as on words,
and his actions
were designed to show how few were man's needs. His
dress, later to be
Cynic uniform, was that of a vagabond beggar, with
a stick, a wallet
for alms and a cloak, which, when doubled, served at
night as a blanket.
He needed no roof over his had but what he could
find in public
buildings, or made (as familiar legend has it) his home
in a TUB. His
famous claim to be "a citizen of the world" is another
aspect of the same
denial of supposed necessities; the ordinary Greek
could not imagine a
good life except as a member of the exclusive
community that he
called a POLIS. The authenticity of the writings
(now lost)
attributed to him—dialogues, plays and the REPUBLIC—was
disputed; one
reason was that they contained shocking passages in
defence of
cannibalism, incest, etc., appropriate to the historical
Diogenes but
embarrassing to later followers. The Republic at least
can hardly be
doubted: it described an anarchist UTOPIA, in which
men lived
"natural" lives."
EXPLAINING THE RIDDLE
The story of
DIOGENES is a riddle which is based around a natural
deity to cover up
what has taken place. This is very closely related
to the foundation
of modern religions. The victim is the Turkic
peoples whose
ancient religion was a trinity Sky-God concept. It
consisted of One
Sky-Father-God who was the creator of the universe.
His creations Sun
and Moon were regarded as his eyes which were the
Sun-God UTU (kjnown
as; Gün-Tanri, Sag-Göz (right eye, working eye),
Kor-Göz (fire eye),
Gör-Göz (the seeing eye)) and the Moon-God METE
(known as: Ma-Ata,
Ay-Tanri, Sol-Göz (left eye), Kör-Göz (blind eye)).
This trinity was
also known by the name KOR-OGUZ and KÖR-OGUZ.
Evidences indicate
that during the first millennium B.C. secretive
priest groups
usurped every aspect of the ancient culture of
Turs/Turks peoples
inclusive of people, religion and language by way
of concocted
language and riddled myths. Thus the people of the whole
world, including
their own people have been conned. The immediate
victims were the
Sky-God worshipping Turkic peoples. The falsification
is so immense and
so meticulously executed that there probably was no
such larceny in the
history of mankind like this one. Our present
civilization is
still living and experiencing the adverse affects of
this great
deception.
The ancient
Tur/Turk peoples, being the believers of the most honest
and straightforward
universal Sky-God religion had extremely well
developed religious
and social order concepts. It was this highly
advanced culture
and its very advanced peoples that some
"sophisticated"
people could not and did not tolerate. They took and
altered pretty much
everything from the cultures of ancient
Turanians, thus
creating a culture based on inflected thinking and
alterations. The
Diogenes story is one of them. As I explain the
riddle, I bring
parts of the story to the readers' attention so that
they can follow it
readily. The etymological analysis of the names
appearing in such
so-called mythological legends reveal their true
identity.
DIOGENES is
actually an anagrammatised Turkic name which stands for
the name of the Sun
in Turkish. Decryption of the name yields a
number of Turkic
phrases all related to the Sun.
1) The name
DIOGENES, when decrypted letter-by-letter and separated
into its components
as "EDI-GONES", with S=Sh, is an anagram of
Turkish expression:
1a)
"IDI-GÜNES" meaning "it was the Sun";
1b) "ADI
GÜNES" meaning "its name is Sun".
2) DIOGENES, when
decrypted as "ES-GENDI O", is an anagram of Turkish
expression
"AS-GÜN'DI-O" ("AS Gündi O", "Essiz Gündî O")
meaning "He
was Peerless
Sun".
3) DIOGENES, when
decrypted as "GONES-EDI", with S=Sh, is an anagram
of Turkish
"GÜNESDI" ("Günesdi, Günes idi) meaning "it is the
Sun" or
"it was the
Sun".
4) DIOGENES when
decrypted as "GON-ESEDI", with S=Sh, is an anagram
of Turkish
expression "GÜN-ISIDI", meaning "It is the sunlight", and
alternatively, with
S=S, "GÜN-ISIDI" meaning "It is the heat of the
Sun".
From all of these
decryptions, it is seen that the name "DIOGENES" is
indeed the
personification of the "sun", "sunlight" and "sunheat"
described in
Turkish in a variety of ways. Hence, the DIOGENES story
appearing to be
associated with DIGENES of SINOPE is really a
mythological
riddle. The story is talking about some natural
attributions
related to the Sun but in a very riddled manner. This we
will see below in
the remaining parts of the cited story. They provide
additional proof
that the DIOGENES story is a riddle and the qualities
attributed to this
mortal are fake, unless he is personifying the sun.
Now let us go
through the important elements of the story to
understand it fully.
1. Story says that:
"Diogenes (4th
century B.C.) originator and archetype of the sect of
the CYNICS, was
born at Sinope on the Black sea, and died as an old
man about 320 B.C.,
probably at Corinth, where his monument was
surmounted by a
marble dog, the emblem of the sect. A picturesque
figure, he became
the centre of a legend, some of which seems
attributable to the
invention of Menippus. Many of the best-known
stories about him
are apocryphal."
1.1) On Diogenes
being the originator and archetype of the sect of
the CYNICS, Graham
Speake gives the following information about the
so-called
"Cynics" peoples: [3]
"The Cynics
were followers of DIOGENES OF SINOPE, who had been given
the nickname of
"KUON (dog) because of his rejection of conventions,
his adoption of
poverty, and his practice of shamelessness. But since
ANTIHISTENES
influenced Diogenes, many consider him to be the true
founder of the
sect. Diogenes' most faithful disciple was CRATES OF
THEBES. After
flourishing in the 3rd century B.C., Cynicism gradually
declined in the 2nd
and 1st centuries. It revived, however, during
the 1st century AD
at which time several Cynics were banished for
their opposition to
the emperors".
This citing from
Graham Speake explains a number of aspects:
a) Diogenes was
influenced by ANTIHISTENES. As this so-called Greek
name indicates, he
is a person who is against the "ISTAN" believers,
i.e.,
"SUN" believers who were the ancient Turanian Tur/Turk peoples.
The name
ANTIHISTENES when decrypted letter-by-letter as
"ANTI-HSTENI-ES",
is an anagram of Turkish expression "ISTAN ITENIZ"
("ISTAN'a
karsiyiz") meaning "we are rejectors of ISTAN" , "we are
against ISTAN".
In this anagram by
Greeks, the so-called Greek word "ANTI" is an
anagram of Turkish
word "ITEN" (ITAN) meaning "he who rejects" or "he
who is
against" - which, of course, is what the so-called Greek word
ANTI is all about.
The name ISTAN is
one of the many names of the ancient Turanian
Sun-God. The
Turkish word ISTAN is embedded in the HISTEN section of
ANTIHISTENES. The
bogus Greek letter "H" is sometimes an "I" and
sometimes an
"H". The name comes from the Turkish words "ISHITAN"
meaning "he
who lights" which describes the Sun as the illuminator of
the earth and
"ISITAN" meaning "he who heats" which again describes
the Sun as the
"heater" of earth. This ancient Turkish name for the
Sun-God still
appears as a suffix in the names of Turkish ISTAN
countries.
The suffix ES in
ANTIHISTENES is from the Turkish plurality verbal
suffix that appears
in the 1st person and 2nd person plural cases, as
is the case of
Turkish "BIZ-IZ" meaning "we are" and "SIZSIN-IZ"
meaning "you
are".
Thus the name
ANTIHISTENES is actually a concocted and Hellenized name
using Turkish
words. This kind of name making from Turkish seems to
have been a daily
affair among ancient Greeks since it is also the
same in the case of
most of the other ancient Greek famed names. This
was because of the
fact that the ancient native language of Anatolia
and all around the
Medeterranean Sea was Turkish. Secret Greek
activities such as
by ANTIHISTENES and DIOGENES were directed against
the native Turkic
peoples and their civilization. As the name
ANTIHISTENES
indicates, this person was an anti-Turanian Greek.
b) DIOGENES had the
nickname of "KUON" (the DOG). KUON, though, is an
anagram of Turkish
word "KUN O" meaning "it is Sun" referring to the
Sun-God of the
ancient Turanians. The word GOD looks very much like
the anagram of
Turkish "aGa-OD" meaning "Lord Fire" again indicating
the Sun-God. This
is a very important and valid point since Sumerian
UD means SUN and
Sumerian UTU means Sun-God and Sumerian "GUD" means
"bull,
ox", also "ALPU" in Akkadian anagrammatized from Turkish "AL
aPa-U"
("Okuz", "Oguz") meaning "He is Red Father". [4]
The Bull was
the symbol or icon
of the ancient Turanian Sun-God. In ancient
Turkish, "UT
U" also meant "It is BULL. [5] and "UDU" meant
"Sun" and
"day".
[6] Simlarly, Sumerian UD means "sun, light and day". [7]
Thus making the
Sumerian and the ancient Turkish the same.
c) The name CYNIC
is an anagrammatised form of the Turkish phrase
"KUNCI"
(KÜNci) meaning "Those who follow the Sun". But additionally,
it is also an
anagram of the Turkish word "KINCU" (KINCI) meaning
"vindictive",
that is, "one who holds a grudge". Evidently the Greek
"Cynics"
were violent critics of social customs and current
philosophies of the
sun-God religion that was prevalent at the time.
Thus they were a
"vindictive" group of people secretly seeking to
eliminate the
"sun-god" religion of the ancient Turanians while
appearing to be
followers of the Sun-God religion (KUNCU). This they
eventually did
together with the other anti-Turanian group. So they
went into their
usual dissenting and confusing tantrum to do away with
the Sun-God idea
and installed their own "Black-Moon" concept as a
basis for their own
religion. The world is still following this silly
game and killing
each other for no reason other than political and
economic reasons.
The term
"cynic" has the synonyms of "unbeliever, questioner, skeptic,
agnostic,
doubter" all of which indicate that these so-called ancient
"cynics' were
an organized group of people who were against the
ancient Turanian
Sky-God OGUZ religion and they planned to destroy
that religion.
2. The story says
that:
"DIOGENES was
born at Sinope on the Black sea".
It is possible that
the "vindictive" Greek who initiated the idea of
"CYNIC"
with the fake name "DIOGENES' might have been born in Sinope
on the Black Sea
coast, but the real DIOGENES (i.e., the Sun) was born
in black space
billions of years ago. The important thing is that the
story is a riddle
using deceptions in order to hide the real identity
of DIOGENES, the
main character of the story.
It was an ancient
Turanian tradition to give "SUN" related names to
concepts.
Evidently, the person who invented this "Cynic sect" knew
ancient Turkishand
Turkish culture well and thus, gave himself such a
name, that is,
DIOGENES. But at the same time he disguised his real
intentions of
"vindictiveness". The Sun is obviously not from the
city of Sinope
(presently Turkish city of SINOP) although it looks
down upon Sinop
every day.
3. Story says that:
"he died as an
old man about 320 B.C, probably at Corinth."
As a person of the
"Cynic" sect, he could have died at Corinth.
However, behind
this curtain of ridlle there seems to be another
aspect to be
concerned with. That is the abolishment of the ancient
Turanian trinity
Sky-God religion by way of propaganda and other
means. It was
officially abolished, so to speak -died, not at about
320 B.C., but
rather at about 320 AD (i.e., 325 AD) when, under the
leadership of
emperor CONSTANTINE I, the Christiandom held their first
"ecumenical"
conference in NICAEA (IZNIK) in Anatolia and declared the
Christianity as the
new religion of the empire. [8] After that the
so-called
"paganism", which was the ancient Turanian Sky-God religion
(i.e., OGUZ
Religion) declined. After the birth and expansion of
"Christianity",
the followers of the ancient Sun-God religion were
persecuted
everywhere by all means. Those who refused to give up their
ancient religion
were killed.
It is not
coincidence that the first "ecumenical" council of
Christianity was
held in a place called NICAEA (IZNIK). NICAEA is an
anagram of Turkic
"KIN-AY-ÖY" meaning "Home of Sun-Moon"; but
"KIN-AY-ÖY"
could also mean "Home of Vindictive Moon". By the way,
the Greek word NICK
is an anagram of Turkic "KIN" or "KÜN" meaning
"Sun".
The very fact that NICK is formed by reversing Turkish KIN is
an indication that
NICK is conceptually opposed to KIN. It is a fact
that NIGHT (meaning
Dark) is opposed to DAY (i.e., GÜN in Turkish).
4. Story says that:
"his monument
was surmounted by a marble dog, the emblem of the sect."
This action, i.e.,
placing a dog on top of the monument of DIOGENES,
was a put down,
with pejorative intentions against the Sky-God. Note
that
"DOG" is an "inverse form of the term "GOD" - which is
an anagram
of Turkish
"aGa-OD" meaning "Lord Fire" (i.e., the Sun). The
vindictive Cynics,
not believing in the ancient Turanian Sky-God any
more, ridiculed and
behaved irreverent against it. In Turkish culture,
a disliked person
is usually likened to a dog or son of a dog (e.g.,
köpek, köpekoglu,
itoglu). It appears that the Cynics took this
Turkish pejorative
expression and applied it to the Sun-personifying
monument of
DIOGENES.
5. Story about him
says:
"A picturesque
figure, he became the centre of a legend, some of which
seems attributable
to the invention of Menippus. Many of the
best-known stories
about him are apocryphal."
The term
"apocryphal" meaning "of doubtful authenticity, disputed,
false, fraudulent,
fictitious or fake" proves my point that this story
and its character
are fake and invented by some ancient Greeks in
order to ridicule
the ancient Turanian Sky-God religion.
6. Story says that
when he was confronted by Alexander the Great
and asked what he
(Alexander) could grant him, he retorted by saying:
"I don't want
any gift from you except don't make shadow on me"
("Gölge etme
baska ihsan istemem" in Turkish).
In the above given
citing from EB, this is rendered as: "how the only
boon that he would
beg of Alexander the Great was that he should stand
out of his light."
Disguised in this
story is the "shadow" concept that needs to be
exposed. As I have
pointed out above, the fictitious character
DIOGENES was the
personification of the Sun. The only thing that
makes an occasional
shadow on the Sun is the Moon when it eclipses
the Sun.
In this case
"Alexander the Great is the personification of the
ancient Moon-God of
Turanians. The name ALEXANDER", when decrypted as
"AL-EKS-ANDER",
is the anagram of Turkish expression "ALA OKUS HANDIR"
("ALA OGUZ
HAN'DUR) meaning "He is the spotted OX Lord" which refers
to the Moon - which
of course is spotted. Of course another meaning
for ALEXANDER"
is the Turkish expression "AL OKUZ HAN'DIR" ("AL OGUZ
HAN'DUR")
meaning "he is the RED OX LORD". But this is the name of
"AL OGUZ
HAN", that is the the SUN-God. Here we see how the Turkish
name OGUZ and his
symbol OKUZ, AL and ALA are being interchangeably
used in metaphores.
This is the beauty of Turkish. By changing one
vowel in the name
the concept changes from "RED BULL" (al okuz) to
"SPOTTED
BULL" (ala okuz). But this flexibility of Turkish has given
occasion for those
with deceptive intentions.
7. Story says that:
"he was sold
into slavery, he declared his trade to be that of
governing men and
was appointed tutor to his master's sons."
The only true force
that governs "men" is the Sun. Without the SUN,
there would be no
men to be governed. Of course, the Sun does not
directly govern men
as the story implies. There is a metaphore here
to be noted. Men
were governed by "kings" who took titles for
themselves that
emulated the sun's name in Turkish. Thus, by being
titles to kings,
and playing a pun on words, the Sun indirectly
governs men.
It must be noted
that even the English term "king" is related to the
name of Sun in
Turkish. The following words meaning "king" are
anagrams of Türkish
"KÜN aGa" meaning "Sun Lord". English word KING,
German KÖNIG,
Swedish KUNG and Yidish KINIG. Similarly, French ROI
comes from RE/RA
Masarian Sun-God, Italian RE from RE/RA, Spanish REY
from RE/RA.
Additionally, the
word KINGDOM is anagram of Turkish "KÜN aGa DAMI"
(Gün Aga evi)
meaning "the house of Sun Lord". French ROYAUME is an
anagram of Turkish
"RA OYUM" (Re/Ra/Er öyüm) meaning "my Sun-Lord
house".
Italian REGNO from Turkish "RE/RA ÖYÜN" meaning "Your Sun-Lord
house";
Spanish REINO from Turkish "RE OIN" (Re/Ra Öyün) meaning "Your
Sun-Lord
house".
Thus it is clear
that a mortal beggar DIOGENES on the streets of
Athens would not be
in a position to "govern men" unless he is a
manipulative beggar
king disguised in tattered clothes.
Metaphorically, the
Sun's master or father was regarded to be the
Sky-Father-God who
created the Sun and the rest of the solar system
that is regarded as
His children. But the SUN itself is the master
and the controller
of everything in the solar system.
8. Story also says
that:
"It is
virtually certain that he was exiled with his father from
Sinope."
The author sounds
quite certain about this statement. In this regard,
surely he knows a
secret that we do not know. While in one hand he
means the
fictitious person DIOGENES and his father from Sinope being
exiled, on the
other, he refers to the ancient Turanian Sun-God, that
is, DIOGENES
(GÜNES) and his father the Sky-Father-God (Gök Ata
Tanri). By this
ambiguous statement he refers to the dethronement of
the ancient
Turanian Sun-God and his father the creator
Sky-Father-God.
Instead they adopted the ancient Turanian Moon-God,
particularly the
Black Moon as the new god. That is what the phrase
"was
exiled" (abolition) refers to in this labyrinthine phraseology.
9. Story says that:
"he had
probably already adopted his life of asceticism when he
reached Athens ( at
an unknown date); and not later than 330 B. C.
Aristotle refers to
him as a familiar figure, nicknamed "the DOG".
Again there is
double talk in this statement. In one hand, the writer
talks about the
mortal DIOGENES from Sinope but secretly (in riddle
form) he refers to
the Sun again. The word "asceticism" has the
meaning of a
"harsh life style", that is living with the barest means,
supposedly as the
mortal DIOGENES did. The SUN, too, lives a life
that does not
require anything from anyone. The Sun is a self
sufficient entity.
Additionally, "asceticism" is related to "ascetic
+ ism" in
which "ascetic" means "holy man" which makes the Sun, being
the Sun-God, the
most holy one. The suffix "ism" is the anagram of
Turkish word
"ISMI" meaning "his name". Ascetic also means "harsh
life
style that a holy
man lives. Ascetic is an anagram of Turkish word
"ÇEKISITU"
(çekicidi, zor sartlar içinde yasayan) meaning "he lives an
austere life".
10. Story states that:
"He made his
mission to "deface the currency,"
perhaps meaning
"to put false coin out of circulation"; i.e., to
expose the falsity
of most conventional standards and beliefs.
Again we have a
metaphorical statement here. In ancient times, kings
were the ones who
printed coins with their picture. When the king
changed, the face
on the coin also had to be changed to the picture of
another king, thus
the face of the currency was defaced. The story
also refers to old
beliefs meaning the religious beliefs which can be
changed.
11. Story states
that:
"In so far as
he had a positive ideal, it was one of self-sufficiency
unshaken by fear,
pain or desire, to be won by an unremitting
discipline of body
and mind.
The SUN is the most
self sufficient entity in the solar system
requiring nothing
from external world. It has no fear, pain or desire
as humanbeings
experience. It does what it has been doing for
billions of years.
Possibly, DIOGENES, as a Cynic ("Künci"), wished
to emulate such
attributes of the "sun".
12. Story says that:
"Tradition,
untrustworty in detail, cannot be wrong in portraying him
as the possessor
both of a biting wit and a showmanship, exemplified
by the story of his
going out in broad daylight with a lantern "in
search for an
honest man."
If the character
DIOGENES really did this kind of activity, i.e.,
searching for an
honest man while carrying a lantern in broad
daylight, he was
again emulating the Sun. The Sun, which lights up
the earth and the
rest of the solar system, is the only entity in the
sky that
metaphorically carries his own "lantern" in his hand in broad
daylight. It is no
wonder that the Greek Orthodox Church in Istanbul
uses the name
"FENER" meaning "lantern". This is not a coincidence.
13. Story says that:
"He needed no
roof over his head but what he could find in public
buildings, or made
(as familiar legend has it) his home in a TUB."
The Sun does not
need a "roof" over his head. Its roof is the "sky".
14. Story states
that:
"His famous
claim to be "a citizen of the world" is another aspect of
the same denial of
supposed necessities; the ordinary Greek could not
imagine a good life
except as a member of the exclusive community that
he called a POLIS."
This is another
giveaway lead that the name DIOGENES was the
personification of
the Sun. Metaphorically, the Sun is indeed the
"citizen of
the world" because the Sun appears, illuminates and heats
all parts of the
world without discrimination. This happens everyday
and continuously.
The "sophisticated" Greek from Sinope made use of
this fact and
designed a mythology around it by personifying the sun
as a "citizen
of the world". So-called Greek mythology is full of
such deceptive
stories. There is no way that a Greek from Sinope at
year 320 B.C. could
suppose himself to be the citizen of the world
while his world
included so limited a horizon. A mortal wishing to be
"a citizen of
the world" is a metaphorical saying. On the other hand,
the Sun belongs to
the whole world and therefore is the "citizen of
the world".
Metaphorically, he is indeed the most ancient "citizen"
of the world.
15. The story
states that:
"The
authenticity of the writings (now lost) attributed to
him—dialogues,
plays and the REPUBLIC—was disputed; one reason was
that they contained
shocking passages in defence of cannibalism,
incest, etc.,
appropriate to the historical Diogenes but embarrassing
to later followers."
This is an
intentional putdown against the ancient Turanian religion
and the Sun-God.
16. Story refers to:
"The Republic
at least can hardly be doubted: it described an
anarchist UTOPIA,
in which men lived "natural" lives."
The word UTOPIA has
the synonyms of "golden age, millennium,
happiness, thousand
years of peace, heaven on earth", thus, referring
to long periods of peaceful
time on earth provided by those who were
called UTU-APA
people.
The word UTOPIA,
when decrypted as "UTO-P-IA", is an anagram of Turkic
expression
"UTU aPa ÖYÜ" meaning "The dynasty of Sun-God UTU Father"
or "The House
of Sun-God UTU Father". UTU was the name of the Sun-God
in ancient
Sumerian. UDU also meant "Sun" in ancient Turkish. UTU is
also the Turkish
expression "UT-U" (OT-O, OD-O) meaning "It is fire"
referring to Sun.
It is also the name of Turman/Turkman, that is,
OTOMAN (UTU-MEN,
OSMAN (UZ-men), OGUSMAN (Oguz-men), GÜN-Men) meaning
"The SUN
MAN". Thus UTOPIA indirectly refers to the dynasties of the
Tur/Turk peoples
who have provided peace and tranquility for human
beings throughout
their ancient dynasties since very ancient times.
Evidently when
HESIOD was referring to an ancient "Golden Age", [9]
he was referring to
an ancient world that was ruled by the UTU-APA
believing and peace
loving Turanians. "Golden" is the color of the
Sun and the
Sunlight. Thus UTOPIA is a word made up from Turkish
words and refers to
thousands of years of peace provided by the
Tur/Turk peoples.
Before closing this
analysis, I like to bring few more similarly
formulated
historical Greek names to reader's attention. They are
names such as: [10]
ANTIGONUS I
MONOPHTHALMUS (one eyed) (c 382-301 BC.): The name
ANTIGONUS when
decrypted letter-by letter as "ITAN GUNS O" is an
anagram of Turkish
expression "GÜNESh ITEN O" meaning "he who rejects
Sun". The
nickname MONOPHTHALMUS "One eyed" seems to be again
referring to the
"Sun" because sun is the working fire Eye (one eye)
of the ancient
Turanian Sky-Father-God which is rather an elavating
name for him. Name
reminds us the anagrammatized name "LYCURGUS" made
from Turkish
"ULU KÖR GÖZ" meaning "Great Blind Eye" or "Great Fire
Eye" which
refer to the ancient Turanian Sky-God..
ANTIGONUS II
GONATAS (c.320-239 BC.): Name ANTIGONUS is the same as
above. However,
GONATAS is the joined anagram of Turkish words "GUN
ATASh" meaning
"Sun Fire" rather an elevating Turkish name.
ANTIGONUS III DOSON
(c. 263-221 BC.): The name DOSON is an anagram of
Turkish word
"ODSON" (Odsun) meaning "You are fire" which is again a
sun-fire related
name.
ANTIOCHUS I to
ANTIOCHUS IX: Name ANTIOCHUS is an anagram of Turkish
expression
"OKUSI ITEN" (OGUZ'i iten) meaning "He who rejects OGUZ"
the Turanian
Sky-God.
Derived from these
names is the word "ANTAGONIST" having meanings such
as "opponent,
adversary, enemy, foe, tormentor, rival". These meanings
reveal the
unfriendly attitude of these ancient Greek people titled
"ANTIGONUS"
towards the ancient Tur/Turk peoples, their widely
accepted Sky-God
religion and widely spoken Turkish language. The word
ANTAGONIST, when
decrypted as "ATANTI-GONS"), is an anagram of Turkish
expression
"GÜNESh ATANTI (Günesi atandi, Günesi itendi) meaning "he
is one who threw
away (or rejected) the Sun". Evidently because of
this
"Anti-Gonus" feelings, antagonistic perceptions against Tur/Turk
peoples and their
very ancient Sky-God Oguz religion have come to the
present times by
Greeks and their collaborators.
Although, it is the
subject of another paper, I must also introduce
here that the name
CONSTANTINE is also a SUN based Turkish expression.
This Roman king,
like all other Roman kings, was initially a "pagan"
king meaning that
he was the believer of the ancient Tur/Turk peoples
Sky-God religion.
Hence his title was in accordance with the Turanian
traditions of
titleling king after the Sun in Turkish. He became a
Christian later.
1. In one meaning
of his title CONSTANTINE, when it is decrypted as
"CON-STAN-TI-EN",
it is an anagram of Turkish expression "KUN-ISTAN-Ti
hAN"
("Gün-Istan-di Han") meaning "The Lord was the Sun-God"
which
ennobles him to the
level of Sun-god. Thus the title deifies the king
in Turkish in
accordance with the ancient Turkish tradition.
As it is seen, in
this anagram, the "CON" part of the title pronounced
as "KON"
is Turkish "KÜN" (GÜN) meaning "sun", "STAN" is
Turkish
"ISTAN"
meaning "God", "TI" is the Turkish verbal suffix
"TI/DI" of
verb "to
be", and "EN" is the anagram of Turkish "HAN" meaning
"lord".
2. In another
meaning of his title, CONSTANTINE, when it is decrypted
as
"CON-ISTAN-T-EN", is from Turkish expression "KÜN-ISTAN aTa-hAN"
("Gün-Istan
Ata-Han") meaning "Lord Father is the Sun-God". Thus the
king Constatntine
again deifies himself in accordance with the ancient
Turkic traditions.
The king
Constantine I gave his name to a much older Turkic Thracian
town on the
Bosphorus the name of CONSTANTINOPOLE which supposedly
means "The
City of Constantine" but in actuality it was the Turkish
expression
"KÜNISTANDI HAN-APA AUL" meaning "Lord-Father Village was
Künistan". The
term "Lord-Father" refers to both the Sky-God and the
king Constantine.
The reader should note that the name "KÜNISTAN"
(Günistan) is just
like the names of other Turkish "ISTAN" countries.
The name of this
ancient city was changed to the present Turkish name
of ISTANBUL after
it was taken in year 1453 by the Great Ottoman
Sultan Fatih Mehmet
HAN.
Even the name
ISTANBUL is a composite Turkish expression standing for
"ISTAN-APA
AUL" meaning "The village of Father-God". The word AUL is
the ancient Turkish
word meaning "village".
These above listed
personalities and others named thus were all very
influential people
before, during and after Alexander the Great's
operations in
Anatolia and the rest of the Middle East. They have
done a lot of
alterations and Hellenization of ancient Thracia
(Balkans), Turkic
Anatolia and the Midle East. Thus DIOGENES was not
alone as a
"cynic" or "antagonist".
SUMMARY AND
ONCLUSIONS
I have shown that
the so-called Greek name "DIOGENES" was actually a
name made up from a
Turkish expression defining the Sun in Turkish. As
most of the ancient
Greek names, this one was also anagrammatized from
Turkish. This is
also a proof that Turkish was the wide spread
language of ancient
Anatolia and the Mediterranean basin.
The analysis of the
riddle of DIOGENES indicates that the name was a
personification of
Turkish Sun-God GÜNES and the character having this
name, who is also
regarded as being the founder of "Cynics", actually
represented
something else.
The group who
concocted the sect called "Cynic", on the face of it,
were
"followers of "Sun" (from Turkish "Künci" (günci)) and
behind
this curtain of
"sun believers" were the haters of the Turkish Sky-God
and Sun-God. Thus
"Cynics" were also "kinci" meaning "vindictive"
people. It is clear
that, out of grudge, their double faced and
riddled activites
were directed against the ancient Turanian Sky-God
religion, and they
were seeking to abolish this very ancient religion.
Their hand holding
with the Greek philosopher so-called "ANTIHISTENES"
from Turkish phrase
"ISTANI ITENIZ", meaning "we are rejectors of
ISTAN" indicates
this clearly.
The DIOGENES story
is another proof showing that the ancient Turanian
Sky-God Sun-God
religion was wide spread before the introduction of
Judeo-Christianity
and had become a subject of Greek mockery during
the first
millennium B.C. and onwards. Greeks wanted to replace it
with another
religion that they would call their own. Evidently, this
burning desire
resulted in what is called the ORTHODOXY (from Greek
"Orthodokos")
which is a usurpation of the Turkish phrase "ORTA OD
OKUS" (Orta OD
OKUZ) meaning "Fire Bull centered". In other words,
the new religion is
based on the ancient Turanian "FAIR FIRE BULL"
OGUZ religion. The
word OKOS in the Greek word is the Turkish word
OGUZ for the
ancient Turanian Sky-God and his symbol OKOZ/OKUZ the
"bull".
The ancient
Turanian trinity Sky-God (Sun, Moon and their
Sky-Father-God)
were banished as the universal belief of people by the
introduction of
Judeo-Christianity. The whole purpose of inventing
these religions was
to destroy the ancient Turanian Sky-God religion
and with it the
whole ancient Turanian Tur/Turk civilization. With
joint efforts, this
they did.
It must be noted
that even a king of the so-called "Byzantium" empire
had the title
ROMANUS IV DIOGENES. If the name did not describe the
Sun, he would not
have taken a vagabond beggar's name as a king title.
It is curious that
ROMANUS IV DIOGENES was beaten in a battle at
Malazgirt by the
Turkish Sultan ALP ARSLAN in year 1071. [11] In
ancient Turanian
world, it was a tradition for the kings to take
titles that
referred to the sun and Sky-God in Turkish.
This analysis also
shows how some of the ancient Greeks were
distorting the
ancient Turkish language and culture, thus making a
language for
themselves out of encrypted (anagrammatized) Turkish
expressions and
words.
In conclusion, this
solves the riddle of DIOGENES. It is hoped that
this essay helps
the reader to understand the identity of the
so-called
"DIOGENES OF SINOPE". It is also hoped that this essay
gives an insight to
what has gone on in the past against the ancient
Turanian
Sky-God-based civilization.
